I’ve always think of the three little bears when I see this room. I’ve been working on this room for awhile now, bit by bit. I just recently changed out the lamps. Don’t you just love that embroidery work on the shades? The shades are actually white, but look pink when the lamps are on. […]
Guest room tweaking
I added a few little things to my guest room, just in case you stop by for a visit. As you can see the be BEFORE photo below, the shutters behind the bed add interest, but I thought I still needed a focal point. So I added this simple botanical print. As is often […]
Artwork Above a Bed
When I finished sewing the bedding for my bedroom and making the slipcover for my French settee, click here, I wanted something a little more striking for that space above the bed.

Shabby Chic Couture Pillows
So I was in Round Top with my prayer group recently and decided we should just pop in at Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic Couture Shop. We were rewarded with the shop keeper opening the shop for a private visit, just for us!! But I don’t recommend a pop in, since I think she lives in Austin, and […]
